import parseOptArgs = from 'parse-opt-args';
const myInput = `some input -o this is the 'o' option -m this is the 'm' option -q this is the 'q' option`;
const argsParsed = parseOptArgs(myInput, {'optionO':'o', 'optionQ':['q', '-optionQ'], 'optionZ':'-optionZ'});
console.log(argsParsed.optionO); // prints: this is the 'o' option
console.log(argsParsed.optionM); // prints: undefined
console.log(argsParsed.optionQ); // prints: this is the 'q' option
console.log(argsParsed.optionZ); // prints: undefined
console.log(argsParsed.args);    // prints: ['some', 'input', '-m', 'this', 'is', 'the', "'m'", 'option']
